B & R AUTOMATION Equipment We Repair — By Category
B & R AUTOMATION Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full B & R AUTOMATION product range. Below are the major product families we service.
X20 Modular Control System
B & R's flagship distributed I/O and control platform used in machine automation. Common faults include X20 coupler module failures, analog input card drift, and communication timeouts on X20BC ethernet terminals due to connector corrosion in humid Indian manufacturing environments.
APROL Process Automation Platform
B & R's real-time control and visualization software suite for process industries. Repair issues include license key failures, runtime crashes on legacy APROL 4.0 workstations, and communication loss with IOCPM modules in large process plants across Indian refineries and chemical units.
Safety Controllers and Relay Modules
B & R safety-rated automation components for hazardous area machinery. Typical failures include SAFEX relay card memory corruption after power surges, safety I/O module lockups, and loss of diagnostic visibility on SIL2/SIL3 certified controller networks.
Embedded Industrial PCs and Terminals
Rugged fanless terminals and embedded systems for shop-floor environments. Common issues include display panel dead pixels, SD card controller failures, Ethernet port damage from industrial vibration, and thermal shutdown cycles in high-temperature foundry and steel plant settings.
Communications Modules - PROFIBUS and Ethernet
B & R gateway and interface modules for industrial networking. Failures typically stem from DP coupler communication timeouts on legacy PROFIBUS networks, Ethernet gateway crashes under high packet loads, and connector pin corrosion in harsh Indian textile and cement plant environments.
Motion and Servo Controllers
B & R's drive controllers and motion axis interfaces for synchronized multi-axis equipment. Repair scenarios include servo axis oscillation tuning issues, encoder feedback loop disconnections, and synchronization loss in high-speed packaging and web-handling machinery across Indian FMCG plants.

Common B & R AUTOMATION Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in B & R AUTOMATION equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓X20 Coupler Module Communication Timeout — B & R X20 coupler modules fail to sync with peripheral nodes due to degraded Ethernet connectors exposed to humidity, dust, and thermal cycling common in Indian industrial environments. Connector pin oxidation and contact corrosion break data synchronization between modules.
- ✓APROL Runtime Engine Crashes and Lockups — B & R APROL software runtime crashes occur when workstation memory fills due to unmanaged process logs, corrupted license keys preventing software restart, or incompatible OS patches on legacy Windows XP/7 embedded terminals still running in Indian process plants.
- ✓Analog Input Module (X20 DI/AI) Signal Drift and Noise — B & R analog input cards drift or read incorrect values in high-electromagnetic-interference environments — typical in Indian steel, cement, and power generation plants. Poor grounding of sensor shields and missing ferrite filtering on signal cables introduce noise that overwhelms X20 ADC circuits.
- ✓Safety Relay (SAFEX) Card Memory Corruption — Power surges, UPS brownouts, and sudden load shedding in Indian manufacturing plants corrupt non-volatile memory on B & R SAFEX relay modules, causing loss of stored safety function configurations. Failed backup capacitors prevent safe shutdown of safety logic during power loss.
- ✓Embedded Panel Display Degradation and Backlight Failure — B & R industrial panels (Panel 800, Panel PC 810) experience backlight LED aging, inverter circuit failures, and LCD pixel death after 3-5 years in hot Indian manufacturing floors with ambient temps exceeding 45°C. CCFL inverter boards are particularly vulnerable.
- ✓PROFIBUS/Ethernet Gateway Packet Loss and Node Drop — B & R PROFIBUS and Ethernet coupler modules experience intermittent node disconnection when industrial network cables suffer jacket damage, water ingress, and connector corrosion. High packet collision rates on overloaded DP networks force gateway timeouts and cascade failures across Indian textile and automotive assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions — B & R AUTOMATION Repairs
Do you repair B & R Automation equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics is the authorized B & R Automation service partner with pan-India coverage. We offer same-day pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and 100+ other Indian cities. All repairs are completed at our ISO certified facility in Vadodara, Gujarat. We maintain genuine B & R spare modules and OEM-equivalent components, ensuring your equipment meets original performance specifications.
What is the typical repair turnaround for B & R X20 modules and APROL systems?+
Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days for X20 I/O modules and embedded controllers. APROL software issues and runtime diagnostics are often resolved within 3-4 days if software licenses are intact. Critical safety-related repairs (SAFEX modules, safety controllers) take 7-10 days due to mandatory functional safety recertification per IEC 61508. Express 48-hour repair is available for documented emergency downtime — call us before shipping.
Do you repair legacy B & R APROL 4.0 systems, or only the newer APROL 5.0?+
Synchronics supports the entire B & R APROL range — APROL 4.0, 4.6, and 5.0 on all embedded PC platforms and industrial terminals. We have licensed APROL engineering tools and legacy Windows XP/7 workstations in-house to diagnose runtime crashes, license key failures, and module communication issues on your vintage systems. Many of our Indian pharma and process customers still run critical APROL 4.0 systems, and we provide ongoing technical support.
Can Synchronics repair B & R safety controllers and SAFEX relay modules while maintaining SIL2/SIL3 certification?+
Yes. All B & R safety controller and SAFEX module repairs at Synchronics are completed with full functional safety validation per IEC 61508 SIL2 and SIL3 requirements. We maintain a certified safety test rig, provide calibrated diagnostic reports, and recertify modules before release. Documentation confirms your safety function integrity — essential for Indian automotive Tier1 suppliers and pharmaceutical GMP facilities.
What B & R Automation products do you stock as spares?+
Synchronics maintains a deep inventory of B & R spare parts including X20 coupler modules, DI/DO/AI/AO cards, safety relay boards, embedded PC memory upgrades, LCD display panels, industrial ethernet connectors, and backup capacitors. We stock over 1641 B & R product variants and maintain relationships with authorized distributors for fast OEM part availability if a module requires factory replacement rather than refurbishment.
How do I send my B & R AUTOMATION unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a B & R AUTOMATION drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on B & R AUTOMATION repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your B & R AUTOMATION unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
